Potato Harvesting!

Ricky carefully harvesting potatoes

This week, we harvested baskets full of potatoes from the garden. We didn't even know that you could grow potatoes in California! What a delight to dig around and hunt for them. We studied different types of roots this year, so it was fun to find roots that we can also eat!

Oh how wonderful to have that experience for your family! I am a California native, living in Massachusetts. We have had so much rain here that my potted garden is water logged. It is terrific to see how much you are gathering, to know that not everyone feels like they're a foot under water!! I remember those California summers with many wonderful gardening memories - and try to relive them every year on the East Coast.
